The raw numbers are off (significantly low as far as my blog is concerned) but the trends are about right.

Election season was very, very good for business.

And, if I may toot my own horn a bit, SAB made #83 in the top 100 “Who’s Who” of political blogs.  ABC News report on it here.

I actually think that the NorthDecoder’s claim (unless they’ve changed it in the year or so it’s been since I bothered visiting) is “North Dakota’s most influential blog that’s written from the Nodland living room.”

The rest of it gets cut off by the header.

Rob,

How do you know this? Is he wearing pajamas?

He wears underwear on his head for all I know.

It’s just obvious.  He’s not that important.  Which is why nobody bothers to read what he writes.

Just checking here, but in⋅flu⋅en⋅tial is defined as “having or exerting influence, a person who exerts or can exert strong influence.” And in⋅flu⋅ence is defined as “the action or process of producing effects on the actions, behavior, opinions, etc., of another or others.” So don’t you have to have “another or others” visiting your site to be influential? It is clear Chad is under the influence but it is clearly not the influence of another or others.
